What's in it
Tap any ingredient for its safe form at your baby's age — the recipe assumes those preps.
Steps
- 01Simmer 1 tbsp chopped liver in water until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- 02Blend the liver with 1/2 cup steamed sweet potato until silky.
- 03Add 2 tbsp unsweetened cooked apple and blend again to mellow the flavor.
- 04Serve about 1–2 tsp of the blend at a time, stirred into other purées if you like.
Why it works
Liver is the single densest iron food a baby can eat, and sweet potato plus apple soften its strong taste. Keep portions small — a teaspoon or two, once or twice a week, is plenty.
Storage
Keeps 24 hours in the fridge or 1 month frozen in small dollops; reheat to steaming and cool.
